Stop watching your workers - WashingtonPost - 0 views

  • Bernstein found that when managers were looking, employees in the factory, a global contract manufacturer that produced mobile devices, did everything by the book so as not to call attention to themselves. But when managers weren’t watching, employees used a variety of easier and even safer tricks of their own to keep production humming at an even faster pace. In one study, simply hanging a curtain so that managers couldn’t see workers increased productivity by 10 to 15 percent.
  • When workers have enough autonomy to experiment, fail and share ideas outside the watchful eye of their managers, they could very well develop and perfect tools that make them more productive, not less.
  •  
    "The paper, which Bernstein titled "The Transparency Paradox," found that productivity actually increased when a group of Chinese manufacturing employees were not being closely watched by their managers."

How to Get a Job at Google - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • “There are five hiring attributes we have across the company,” explained Bock. “If it’s a technical role, we assess your coding ability, and half the roles in the company are technical roles. For every job, though, the No. 1 thing we look for is general cognitive ability, and it’s not I.Q. It’s learning ability. It’s the ability to process on the fly. It’s the ability to pull together disparate bits of information. We assess that using structured behavioral interviews that we validate to make sure they’re predictive.”
  • The second, he added, “is leadership — in particular emergent leadership as opposed to traditional leadership.
  • What else? Humility and ownership. “It’s feeling the sense of responsibility, the sense of ownership, to step in,” he said, to try to solve any problem — and the humility to step back and embrace the better ideas of others. “Your end goal,” explained Bock, “is what can we do together to problem-solve.

  • The least important attribute they look for is “expertise.” Said Bock: “If you take somebody who has high cognitive ability, is innately curious, willing to learn and has emergent leadership skills, and you hire them as an H.R. person or finance person, and they have no content knowledge, and you compare them with someone who’s been doing just one thing and is a world expert, the expert will go: ‘I’ve seen this 100 times before; here’s what you do.’ ” Most of the time the nonexpert will come up with the same answer, added Bock, “because most of the time it’s not that hard.”

    Pas forcément besoin de diplôme "LAST June, in an interview with Adam Bryant of The Times, Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations for Google - i.e., the guy in charge of hiring for one of the world's most successful companies - noted that Google had determined that "G.P.A.'s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless. ... We found that they don't predict anything." He also noted that the "proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time" - now as high as 14 percent on some teams. At a time when many people are asking, "How's my kid gonna get a job?" I thought it would be useful to visit Google and hear how Bock would answer."

The Rise of Anti-Capitalism - NYTimes.com - 2 views

    • abrugiere
       
      Cette économie d'abondance et de production à coût marginal a des impacts réels sur le marché du travail. C'est dans les communs collaboratifs que se trouvent dorénavant les nouvelles opportunités de travail (ou d'emplois ?). Aux USA le nombre d'ONG est augmenté de 25% entre 2001 et 2011 pour passer de 1M3 à 1M6, tandis que les entreprises ont augmenté de 1/2 % dans le même temps.  Aus USA, CAnada, Angleterre, le secteur non concurrentiel excède 10% de la main d'oeuvre 
  •  
    Article de J Rifkin  Nous vivons en ce moment un vrai paradoxe du capitalisme : la dynamique de compétitivité des marchés qui tend à réduire toujours plus les coûts, associée à une révolution technologique, est en train de produire des biens et des services en abondance : à coût nul ou marginal.  On le voyait déjà avec Napster à la fin des années 90. De l'industrie de la musique, on a vu ce phénomène s'étendre à l'énergie, aux livres, à l'industrie manufacturière ou l'éducation.  Aujourd'hui, avec l'internet des objets, cela va s'étendre à l'économie entière. L'internet des objets, c'est demain 11 bilions de capteurs rattachés à des ressources naturelles, des lignes de production, des smart gris, des réseaux de logistiques, dans les maison, les bureaux, les magasins... En 2020, on prévoit 50 bilions de capteurs qui seront connectés.  Les individus pourront connecter leur réseau et exploiter les données par des big data, des algorithmes, et par là accélérer l'efficience des objets, des réseaux, et donc diminuer toujours plus les coûts d'utilisation. Cisco prévoit que vers 2022 les gains de productivité du secteur privé engendrés par l'internet des objets excédera les 14 trillion de dollars. Une autre étude de General Electric estime elle que la croissance de la productivité par l'internet des objets pourrait affecter la moitié de l'économie globale en 2025.

This "Airbnb For Skills" Will Liberate You From Your 9 To 5 | Co.Exist - 1 views

  • Ultimately, he sees freelancing as the future. “We’re coming towards an automation kind of economy; most of Amazon will probably be automated within 10 years. As technology is liberating us, we’re becoming less necessary for routine jobs. Like Arthur C. Clarke and Buckminster Fuller said in the 1960s, 90% of people should just stay at home and play in the parks and have fun. If you build automation for the society, then the society can be free--and that’s starting to happen.”
  • The new site may help make that transition a little easier. “Airbnb has liberated apartments, and we can liberate people from their 9 to 5,” Hooks says. “We believe that most of us can freelance, most of us can Airbnb our place, most of us can take a day off to hang out with friends. That kind of shared economy is a visionary idea that is happening now.”
  •  
    "More people are freelancing than ever before--by some estimates, around 42 million Americans. But entrepreneur Ryan Hooks thinks that eventually almost everyone will be able to leave their office jobs, and he's built a new website called Avbl to help. "Essentially it's kind of like the Airbnb model for skillsearch," Hooks explains. "Whatever city you're in, wherever you are in the world, you can search for a skill--like editor, designer, illustrator, or seamstress--and the results come up based on proximity and date." If someone needs a video editor today, or a web designer next month, they can search and book the right person."

Why On-Demand Shipping Service Shyp Is Turning Its Couriers Into Employees | Fast Compa... - 0 views

  • Shyp involves multiple layers of complexity—once it picks up an item, it takes it to a warehouse, packs it up, then hands it off to a major courier such as UPS for delivery—but it's the couriers who define the face-to-face experience for customers. "Our service has so many touch points—showing up at your home and shipping anything anywhere in the world," says CEO and cofounder Kevin Gibbon. "It could be really expensive, like a painting or something like that. We felt that given how complicated the actual job is, the best course is to transition these folks."
  • Still, by moving away from the contractor model, the company gains the ability to exert more control over the Shyp experience without fear of legal repercussions. It can get more involved in training and coaching couriers, managing the hours they work, and generally treating them like full-blown team members rather than freelancers. It will also begin to pay workers' compensation, unemployment, and Social Security taxes for couriers. They'll continue to use their own vehicles, but Shyp will cover costs such as fuel.
  • Aren't employees more expensive than contractors? Sure, which is one big reason why on-demand startups have shied away from hiring them. But Gibbon says that Shyp's satellite drivers and warehouse workers are already employees, so hiring couriers isn't a dramatic departure. And its profit margins are such that there's room for the extra cost. "We felt that with everything we can bring operationally, it'll be a net positive," he told me. "If someone has a better experience, they're much more likely to tell someone else about it."
  •  
    "But that's about to change. Shyp is shifting from signing up couriers as contractors to hiring them as staffers, with the closer ties and legal obligations that such a relationship carries. The new approach will start in the next city Shyp enters: Chicago, where it plans to be up and running this summer. Couriers in the company's current markets-Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and San Francisco-will transition from contractor status to employees on January 1, 2016."

The future of enterprise - 5 - Welcome to the disorganized organization -- ParisTechReview - 0 views

  •  
    Work organization has undergone major evolution over the past 40 years, but we are only at the beginning of this path. If an enterprise today, with its current organization, wishes to stay in the market and ensure the personnel are committed, it must start by taking into account what these persons really are: individuals with weaker professional and personal binding to the company, though constantly building new links round the successive projects proposed. Digitalization allows for remote work in a sort of cooperative nomadism. The general trend to adopt project-mode organization may lead to the arrival of project contracts. Up to recent decades, the enterprise was characterized by a unity of place. Enterprises tomorrow will be characterized by a unity of time, that needed for a project, for a small and large scale contracts, but with no unity of place, inasmuch as the workers can be thousands of kilometres away, in third party office premises or at home, in a remote tele-work mode. Working no longer consists of collaborating with colleagues in a given place built for this purpose, but rather networking with others and organizing a shared sociability. The question is: will the very concept of enterprise survive?

Uber's Augmented Workers - Uber Screeds - Medium - 0 views

  • Uber has long claimed it’s a technology company, not a transportation company. Uber’s drivers are promoted as entrepreneurs and classified as independent contractors. The company claims to provide only a platform/app that enables drivers to be connected with passengers; as an intermediary, the company relies on the politics of platforms to elude responsibility as a traditional employer, as well as regulatory regimes designed to govern traditional taxi businesses.
  • Drivers must submit to a system that molds their interactions, controls their behavior, sets and changes rates unilaterally, and is generally structured to minimize the power of driver (“partner”) voices. Drivers make inquiries to outsourced community support representatives that work on Uber’s behalf, but their responses are based on templates or FAQs.
  • Uber uses surge pricing to lure drivers to work at a particular place at a particular time, without guaranteeing the validity of the surge incentive if they do follow it. Surge is produced through an algorithmic assessment of supply and demand and is subject to constant dynamism. The rate that drivers are paid is based on the passenger’s location, not their own. Even when they travel to an active surge zone, they risk receiving passengers at lower or higher surge than is initially advertised, or getting fares from outside the surge zone. Drivers will be locked out of the system for varying periods of time, like 10 minutes, 30 minutes, etc. for declining too many rides. They also get warnings for “manipulating” surge.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Uber drivers are “free” to login or log-out to work at will, but their ability to make choices that benefit their own interests, such as accepting higher-fare passengers, is severely limited.
  • To a significant degree, Uber has successfully automated many of the processes involved in managing a large workforce, comprised of at at least 400 000 active drivers in the U.S. alone, according to Uber’s last public estimate. However, automation is not to be confused with independence. Uber has built a system that leverages significant control over how workers do their jobs, even as that control is structured to be indirect and semi-automated, such as through nudges, algorithmic labor logistics, the rating system, etc.
  •  
    "Summary Uber has done a lot of things to language to communicate a strong message of distance between itself and its relationship to Uber drivers. Uber insists drivers should be classified as independent contractors, labelled driver-partners, and promoted as entrepreneurs, although the company faces legal challenges over issues of worker misclassification. Beyond its attempts to label work as a type of "sharing" in the so-called "sharing economy," Uber's protracted efforts to celebrate the independence and freedom of drivers have evolved into a sophisticated policy push to design a new classification of worker that would accommodate Uber's business model. The emergent classification, "independent worker," does not acknowledge the significant control Uber leverages over how drivers do their job."

Efficiency up, turnover down: Sweden experiments with six-hour working day - 1 views

  •  
    The experiment at Svartedalens, set to continue until the end of 2016, has attracted interest across Scandinavia and beyond, as workers and managers ask whether they might learn something from it themselves. Svartedalens is attempting to avoid shortcomings by keeping the changes tightly focused and monitored. Only assistant nurses are involved, and the city's human resources management system is generating high-quality data, according to Bengt Lorentzon, a consultant on the scheme. Another care home is being used as a "control", so Svartedalens can be compared with a workplace that has stuck to an eight-hour day.

Exploring portable ratings for gig workers - Doteveryone - Medium - 0 views

  • Unlike the traditional economy, the gig economy doesn’t rely on CVs or letters of recommendation. You build your reputation on one platform at a time — and your reputation is often the route to higher earnings (A service user is more likely to choose someone with 100 five-star ratings than just one or two). Platforms don’t want people to leave, so they don’t let workers have ownership over their own ratings. Leaving a service means starting over.
  • More recently, we’ve been exploring the “how” of ratings portability: what technology, data, user experience and investment might be needed to make this real.Our design team, along with our policy intern and developer James Darling, have been conducting user research and prototyping possible technical solutions for ratings portability. Here’s where we’ve got to so far.
  • “Cab” drivers didn’t have visible habits around their ratings, weren’t checking them frequently and when we spoke about them, they told us that this wasn’t something they’d considered before or something they were particularly concerned about. They were confident in their skills and ability to find work outside of their platforms, and viewed ratings more as performance indicators for their platform owners — the main fear being a drop below 3.5 stars, where they might be dropped from the platform completely.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • This “performance indicator over ratings” feeling was even stronger with food delivery workers. They expressed even less concern about the issue, focussing more on their delivery metrics such as attendance and cancellations. The rider app screens we were shown support this.
  • This makes sense for both food delivery and transit: the customer has little to no ability to use workers’ reputation data to inform their purchase decision. (When we press a button to order a cab or for food to be delivered, speed is the primary factor and platforms emphasise that in their design.)
  • It was a radically different story for tradespeople. Their reputation data feels important to them, and they prefer to keep control over it. They preferred word of mouth reputation and recommendations, as there was no middleman who could take that away from them. Online platforms were seen as something to graduate away from once you had a sufficient “real world” presence.
  • Alongside our user research, James Darling looked at the technical possibilities, drawing on the Resolution Trust’s initial work and the research that our policy intern did. They came up with five possible solutions and gave them names and some logos. They are in increasing order of complexity.
  • Personal referenceThis is the status quo: when approaching a new employer, workers create their own CVs, loosely standardised by convention.
  • Publicly hosted reputationsWhat feels like a technical quick win is to ensure that a platform hosts a publicly accessible web archive of all worker reputation data, including for profiles which have been disabled. This would allow workers to provide a URL to anyone they wish to provide their reputation data. How would this be encouraged/enforced?
  • Profile verificationHow does a worker prove that they are the owner of a publicly hosted reputation profile? There are a few technical solutions that could be explored here, like a public/private key verification or explorations around OAuth. Is it possible to create something that is secure, but also usable?
  • Decentralised open data standardA data standard for reputation data could be created, allowing automated transfer and use of reputation data by competing platforms or external services. Creating the standard would be the trickiest part here: is it possible to translate between both technical differences of different platforms (eg 5 stars versus 80%), but also the values inherent in them.
  • Centralised data holderPerhaps one way to help standardise and enforce this easy transfer of reputation data is to create some sort of legal entity responsible for holding and transferring this reputation data. A lot of discussion would have to be had about the legal framework for this: is it a government department, a charity, a de facto monopoly?
  • We also thought about ways to verify identity (by including an RSA public key), what a best practice data standard might look like (here’s an example in JSON), and what the import process might look like (via a mock competitor site). The code for all this is on Github, and everything above is available in a slide deck here.
  • I worry that the concept of “owning” people’s ratings reflects some deeper, more systemic issues around who “owns” things more generally in society. In the coming months, we’d like to keep working with like minded organisations to explore that idea more, as well as how the cumulative effects of those systems affect us all.

'More empathy means more profit': why the business world is getting emotional | People ... - 0 views

  • “More empathy means more profit, but also happier, more loyal staff,” says Parmar, adding that this is particularly true of the millennial generation. “The people driving the empathy revolution are millennials. They will sacrifice money for meaning, and want emotional recognition. They don’t want an annual performance review. They want a text message to say they rocked it in that presentation.”
  • The creation of an empathy framework within an organisation gives employees a sense of autonomy and control over their work, and an understanding of what is expected of them. At HubSpot, a marketing and sales software company, empathy has been part of the firm’s cultural code since 2013, but work to embed the policy began more recently. Along with producing a video, it worked on identifying what it means to be empathetic in the workplace, encouraging staff and the leadership team to share personal experiences, and rewrote its maternity and paternity guidelines to make it easier for parents transitioning back to work.
